Office space in the Triangle

Office and medical space across the Triangle. Steady demand from professional services, healthcare, and growing operating companies stretches from Chapel Hill and Carrboro through Durham, Hillsborough, and Pittsboro, and into Cary, north Raleigh, and the rest of northern Wake County. The Triangle's office stock is mostly Class B and medical, with a smaller pool of Class A inventory in the central submarkets. TRES has worked both sides of the lease since 2005, so engaging early matters whether you're a tenant looking for options or an owner who wants the right tenant.

01

Triangle office corridors

In Chapel Hill, professional office and medical sit along East Franklin Street, Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, and Fordham Boulevard. Durham activity concentrates downtown and along the I-40 / RTP edge. Hillsborough and Pittsboro each have their own walkable spines. In northern Wake County, demand runs through Cary and into north Raleigh. Inventory profile and tenant fit vary corridor by corridor, which is where local representation matters.

02

Medical office

Medical office stays one of the most active segments in the Triangle. UNC Health continues to expand around Chapel Hill, the Durham hospital and clinic corridor drives parallel demand on the east side, and northern Wake County medical inventory tracks population growth in Cary and north Raleigh. TRES knows the buildings, what they're suited for, and the landlords behind them.

03

Owner-occupants and investors

The current lending environment favors owner-occupants on the buy side. For tenanted office buildings, we generate IRR estimates and take the investment story directly to buyers. Whether you're looking to occupy or acquire, the approach is the same. Understand the real economics before you commit.

Frequently asked questions

In the vast majority of office lease transactions, the landlord pays the brokerage commission. That means you receive professional representation and negotiation at no direct cost to your business. We are always transparent about the fee structure before we begin working together.

For most office leases, we recommend starting 3 to 6 months before your target move-in date. If you need significant tenant improvements or a build-to-suit, 12 to 18 months is more realistic. Starting early gives you more options and stronger negotiating position.

Renewal negotiations are some of the most valuable work we do. We analyze current market conditions, benchmark your rent against comparable buildings, and negotiate improved terms. Many of our office clients have saved significantly by bringing us in before simply signing the landlord's renewal offer.

NNN (triple net) means you pay base rent plus your share of taxes, insurance, and maintenance. Full-service gross (FSG) rolls everything into one number. Modified gross (MG) falls in between. Each structure has implications for your total occupancy cost, and we model all of them so you can compare options on an apples-to-apples basis.

We analyze recent comparable lease transactions, current asking rents for competing properties, absorption trends, and submarket vacancy rates. That data-driven approach ensures your property is priced to attract qualified tenants while maximizing your return.

We use a multi-channel approach. Listing syndication across Catylist, LoopNet, and CREXi. Direct outreach to our network of tenant reps and brokers. Targeted engagement with companies in growth mode. And proactive prospecting to businesses we know are searching in your submarket.

Yes. We assist with lease renewals, rent escalation negotiations, tenant default situations, and early termination requests. Our goal is always to resolve issues in a way that preserves long-term property value and the landlord-tenant relationship.

We represent owners of office and medical buildings and mixed-use properties with office components. Whether you own a single-tenant building or a multi-floor property, we bring the same level of strategic attention.
